Latest Biology & Health News

Every move you make, every thought you think, every protein your body builds is paid for in one molecule. ATP is less a battery than a coin that is spent and reminted constantly.

Every second, millions of cells in your body divide with stunning precision. Here's how they copy themselves — and what happens when the process goes wrong.

Dopamine is called the 'pleasure chemical' — but that's not quite right. It's actually about anticipation, prediction errors, and the drive to seek. Here's the real neuroscience.

AI is combing through genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data to identify novel biomarkers—measurable biological signals that predict disease, drug response, and patient outcomes.

AI-powered BCIs are restoring cursor control, handwriting, and speech to people with paralysis. Here is how the decoding works and where it still fails.

Machine learning is being tested on organ matching, graft-survival prediction, and kidney nonuse. Here is what the evidence shows and where it stops.

Machine learning can scan news and travel data for outbreak signals, forecast cases weeks ahead, and track viral genomes. It cannot say when the next pandemic starts.

Deep learning now outlines cells, restores noisy images, predicts fluorescent labels, and turns cell photos into numbers. Here is how, and where it breaks.

Crows make tools, plan for the future, recognize 500+ human faces, and hold grudges for years. Their intelligence rivals great apes — in a 400-gram brain.

Spider silk is tougher than steel and Kevlar by weight — yet a spider produces it from liquid protein at room temperature in milliseconds, no factory required.

Elephants sleep 2 hours a night. Koalas sleep 22 hours. Dolphins sleep with one eye open. Sleep is stranger across the animal kingdom than you imagined.

Inflammation is the immune system's emergency response. When it becomes chronic, it is tied to heart disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration.
